At a news conference, Lingamfelter said he would focus his campaign on jobs, education, government reform, public safety and support for veterans and sportsmen.

“It will also be a campaign that reminds everyone that government must be fiscally conservative and never forget that the tax money that comes to Richmond belongs to the people, not the politicians,’’ he said. “We must insist on fiscal responsibility, keeping taxes low and spending focused on the right priorities.”
